Chapter 1016

Seeing Wang An about to leave, Mu Hua immediately tried to keep him:

"Then eat before you go. It's almost meal time, what's the rush?"

Liu Ruxin also echoed:

"Yeah, it's not easy to come once, just eat before you go."

Wang An said while turning the car head:

"No, I still have to go to the township."

After speaking, Wang An rode the sidecar and left.

Wang An went to the township, intending to buy hinges and short nails.

The thing connecting the two doors and door frames of Feng Chengmin's wooden board trap is not a hinge, but a piece of iron wire.

Not only does it look not very firm, but it is also more troublesome to make, because to make such a wooden board trap, you have to drill two holes at the edge of the door, and you have to bend the iron wire to a suitable angle, otherwise the two doors will get stuck together, thus failing to trap the deer hoof.

Therefore, Wang An intends to use real hinges instead. Although the investment is larger this way, Wang An is not short of money. Besides, as long as the sika deer can be caught, these investments are worth it.

Soon, Wang An arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative in the township.

This kind of small hinge is packed in a paper box, 100 in a box, and Wang An bought 31 boxes directly.

31 boxes is the amount for 1550 traps.

The reason why there was one extra box is that the supply and marketing cooperative in the township only had so many hinges, so Wang An bought them all.

After buying the hinges, Wang An originally intended to buy some rubber bands commonly used for tying hair in later generations, but the supply and marketing cooperative at this time didn't have them. Helplessly, Wang An bought a few bicycle inner tubes.

However, after taking these bicycle inner tubes home, they still need to be cut into rubber rings.

After buying these, Wang An bought 10 jin of 2-centimeter-long short nails, as well as 5 packs of Classic Bingcheng and 20 packs of Mount Zhangbai, and Wang An rode the sidecar home.

Classic Bingcheng was bought by Wang An for himself to smoke, and Mount Zhangbai was for Wang Dazhu to smoke.

To say that Wang An smokes Classic Bingcheng himself but gives Wang Dazhu Mount Zhangbai is not because Wang An is unfilial; it is mainly because Wang Dazhu likes Mount Zhangbai, saying that Mount Zhangbai is durable and has a kick.

When Wang An arrived home, Wang Li and Li Xiuyu had already gone home.

Wang An ate lunch in a hurry, and without waiting for Feng Chengmin and the others to come over, he connected the circular saw and the walking tractor with a belt, and then began to get busy alone.

Hearing the sound of the walking tractor, Wang Dazhu took the initiative to walk over and shout:

"What are you doing with so many wooden boards?"

In this situation, you have to shout, because the noise made by the walking tractor itself is very loud, plus the noise made by the circular saw breaking the wood is not small, and under this double noise, you can't hear what others are saying at all without shouting.

Wang An shouted loudly without raising his head upon hearing this:

"I'm going to catch sika deer, making some wooden board traps."

Wang Dazhu nodded and began to help silently.

I have to say, using a circular saw to work is fast. With the sound of "zi la zi la," pieces of suitable wooden boards were sawed out.

Just when Wang Dazhu and Wang An were busy, Wang Li led Li Xiuyu over.

Immediately after, Feng Chengmin and Mu Xueli also rode over on horses.

Wang An and Wang Dazhu were busy sawing wooden boards and couldn't take care of greeting them, so the three of them discussed on the side.

Mu Xueli looked at the busy Wang Dazhu and Wang An and asked Wang Li:

"Fifth, my brother-in-law sawed so many small wooden boards, what is this for?"

Wang Li said with a confused face:

"Fourth Brother didn't tell me either. I heard the sound of the circular saw and thought of coming over to see, and by the way, ask Fourth Brother what he wants to do with those deer."

Mu Xueli blinked his confused big eyes and said:

"Those deer? What deer? Sika deer?"

Wang Li nodded and said:

"Yeah, sika deer herd, Xiuyu's brother saw it and came to tell us."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Feng Chengmin suddenly interjected:

"Xiao An asked you two to come over to make wooden board traps. He said he wanted to catch that herd of deer back."

Mu Xueli frowned and said:

"I know traps, but what is a wooden board trap? I don't know how to make that thing, I haven't even heard of it."

Just after Mu Xueli finished speaking, Wang Li said:

"I haven't heard of it either."

After scanning the vicinity, Feng Chengmin found that the wooden board trap Wang An brought back from his house was placed next to the pile of wooden boards, so he stepped forward to pick it up and said to Mu Xueli and Wang Li:

"It's this thing, you two study it first."

After a while, Wang An handed the work in his hand to Wang Dazhu, walked over, and said to Feng Chengmin:

"I feel that digging a round hole in the wooden board is a bit troublesome. Let's just nail a frame with wooden boards."

As he spoke, Wang An took the nails, hammer, and hinges and demonstrated it himself.

Because Wang An had already cut all the wooden boards, it took less than 2 minutes for Wang An to make a brand new wooden board trap.

After Feng Chengmin picked it up and studied it carefully, he praised Wang An with a face full of smiles:

"This one of yours is good; this one of yours is much better than the one they made."

Wang An said with a smile:

"That's for sure. Such a small hinge costs more than a penny. Plus the nails and the oil burned by the tractor, this trap costs three or four cents to make, hehehehe."

Feng Chengmin looked at the 30-plus boxes of hinges and the bag of nails, blinked his eyes and said:

"Then your cost is a bit high. Before catching the deer, sixty or seventy yuan are gone."

Wang An smacked his lips and said indifferently:

"Yeah, the cost is indeed not low. This thing is just like this; if you don't give up the child, you can't catch the wolf. Catch a few more deer and everything will come back."

Feng Chengmin nodded and said:

"That's how it is."

Wang An turned to Mu Xueli and Wang Li who were studying the wooden board trap and said:

"You two stop studying that, just do it according to this. Hurry up, try to finish it today so it can be used tomorrow."

After the two studied the trap Wang An made again, the four of them, Wang An, Feng Chengmin, Mu Xueli, and Wang Li, began to make wooden board traps.

As for Wang Dazhu, he was still standing in front of the circular saw, sawing wood until after 4 o'clock, when all the wooden boards were sawed.

Wang Dazhu, who finished sawing the wooden boards, didn't stay idle and immediately joined the team making traps.

But even if 11 people were busy making traps together, it wasn't until after 5 o'clock in the afternoon that everyone finished making all the traps.

I have to say, Wang An is still very far-sighted. If it weren't for Wang An's decisive action to summon everyone together to make traps, those 1500-plus traps, if only Wang An and Feng Chengmin's four people were to do it, it is estimated that it would have to be done until the middle of the night.

All the traps were finished, and Wang An was overjoyed.

Because tomorrow Wang An and the others can go directly into the mountains, find the herd of deer, and set the traps. It can be said that not a single bit of time was wasted.

Overjoyed, Wang An decided to slaughter a pig to celebrate.

The small piglet caught before the New Year, because it ate quite a lot of corn flour, has now grown to 150 or 160 jin, and because it was castrated, the pork can be said to be delicious at this time.
